The Market. 



September opened auspiciously, with 

 a number of large wedding orders 

 booked and two important funerals. 

 These caused the removal of a consid- 

 erable quantity of stock, in which lilies, 

 hydrangeas and gladioli were the best 

 sellers. Roses, also, had a good call for 

 funeral work, but they have had such 

 short stems that they have been suitahle 

 only for set pieces. Asters are of ex- 

 ceptionally fine quality and are used 

 extensively in funeral sprays. Crego 

 is the best variety in the market, and 

 the stock is plentiful. Gladioli are of 

 first-class quality and in good supply. 

 Lilies are available in every seasonable 

 variety. American Beauties are in mod- 

 erate supply, but the demand is limited. 

 Field-grown carnations do not cut much 

 of a figure. 



There are practically no cattleyas 

 and the supply of valley is small. There 

 is a good variety of outdoor flowers, 

 including antirrhinums, calendulas, cos- 

 mos, daisies, larkspurs, delphiniums, 

 hardy hydrangeas and zinnias. Sweet 

 peas arc out of the market, but there 

 is a fine lot of gypsophilas. 



Business during the month of August 

 compared favorably with that of the 

 same month last year. Funeral work 

 has been in' almost unceasing demand, 

 and there lias been a good demand for 

 flowers for the sick-room and wedding 

 decorations. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Catherine Vesey, daughter of 

 Judge W. J. Vosey, is plaving an impor- 

 tant part in "The Knife." Judge and 

 Mrs. Vesey went to Chicago last week 

 to spend a short time with Miss Vesey, 

 who is on her way to California. 



C. S. Ford, representing A. Herrmann, 

 of New York, was a recent visitor to the 

 trade here. 



A. J. Lanternier & Co. are cutting 

 some fine longiflorum lilies. They have 

 had a good run on funeral work. Carna- 

 tions are shown in good quantities. 



Some excellent asters and gladioli 

 were noted at the Flick Floral Co. store. 

 This concern had a large quantity of 

 work for the funeral of .Tustin N. Study. 



The Doswell Floral Co. had a good 

 business last week. The men are cut- 

 ting fine Ophelia roses at the green- 

 houses at Lindenwood. 



Paniculata hydrangeas, combined 

 With America gladioli, were featured in 

 a good window display at "fidgaf Wen-
